Play Cricket Update and Results Summaries

Access to Play Cricket seems to have been restored and is working as per normal now.

With regards to the entering of home and away teams Play Cricket have communicated the following solution:

In the drop-down menu next to the “Squad” field on the home or away confirm team page, select “N/A.” This will then display all league registered players for that club. You can then also use the CTRL+F find function to quickly locate the surname of the players you need to enter.

As rule 20 of the Shepherd Neame Essex League:

20. Notification and checking of results:

a. Each home team must enter an accurate summary result and scores on play-cricket (including details of all times and lengths of rain stoppages and, in limited overs games, changes to targets and any over reductions):-

1st XI matches – by 8.30pm on the day of the match.
All other matches – by 12.00pm on the Sunday following the match.

Failure to do so will result in a one point penalty.

b. Any team not entering full match details including names of all players on play-cricket by 12 noon on the Friday following the match (12 noon on the Monday following the match for all 1st XI matches) will have five points deducted.

c. Any team not ticking the box in the play-cricket results summary, which confirms the scorecard has been checked, by 12 noon on the Friday following the match (12 noon on the Monday following the match for all 1st XI matches) will have one point deducted.

All 1st XI games have until 12 noon on Monday 15th May to both enter the full scorecard and tick the confirmed scorecard box. For all other matches teams have until 12 noon on Friday 19th May. However, please do not leave this all to the last minute as this will lead to delays in processing league registration nominations prior to the second round of matches. The earlier that all results are entered and confirmed, the better it will be for everyone.

Thank you for your patience today as the result of the ECB’s systems not working correctly.
